02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, it keeps the juices inside instead of spilling out when you slice.
  • Warming the tortillas is crucial, cold tortillas will crack and tear the moment you try to roll them.
  • If your dressing seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to loosen it up.
  • Overfilling the wraps makes them impossible to roll neatly, so be generous but not greedy.
03 -

  • If your chicken tenders are uneven in thickness, pound them gently with a meat mallet so they cook evenly.
  • Toasting the tortilla lightly after rolling gives it a crispy exterior and helps seal the wrap.
  • Always taste your dressing before assembling, a little extra honey or lemon can make all the difference.
